A Thursday to Sunday Weekend Pass that gets entry to the following eight ticketed shows is available for the heavily discounted price of £65/£55. Only 100 of these passes are available, so don’t hang around!

Fierce operates a paperless ticketing policy and therefore guestlists will be operated for shows at the Fierce hub rather than sending out any physical tickets.

The city is served by three train stations (New Street, Moor Street and Snow Hill), with direct trains running from all major cities cross the UK. Trains running from London Euston are 1 hour 25 minutes and run three times an hour.

The city is well served with black cabs, mini cabs and uber. By road the city can be accessed from the north via the M6, the south via the M40 or M1, M6 and the South West via the M5.

Most venues are walking distance from each other and from the Festival Hub, they are city centre based but do always check the route and leave yourselves plenty of time to get around.
